    you went for the 18"s in the end Whippet? Great choice!
    Just an hour ago I sat into my one - just off the transporter. Despite being very mucky, it looked greeeeaaat!! Picking it up later in week.
    Did you order the multi-function computer? Having just seen it in mine, it makes a great job of the dash, well worth the 80 odd.

    The car is just under €30k new in Germania, so it's a little pricey for €25k and 2 years old. Why anyone would drive such a car over here and then sell it is beyond me.

    One of the reasons why this car costs so much less (and don't say VRT, I know thats obviously a reason:) ) in Germany is because they give you nothing at all as standard. The Z4 2.0i doesn't have air-con(we get climate control), trip computer, front fogs,electric roof(only the 3.0 si has it in Germany) over there. These are standard here. The basic point I'm trying to make is that while BMWs on the continent do seem very cheap by comparison, its not just because of VRT; its also because some of the essentials are left out to bring the price down. Therefore while it may appear that the owner is losing out on a mere €5k, he or she would have paid well more than the €30k new(and obviously the cost of VRT here).
    As for why anyone might bring it over and sell it, well thats a good question, I wonder that too.
